Does the TP2 have the blue screen flicker issue?

Yes, I've tried it. Hooked it into our TV and I was very impressed with the quality.

I've tried my Sling/TP2 setup in a couple other vehicles also (a guy I work with has a Z1 Pioneer DVD/NAV setup & it does the flicker with that also)

Ditto with the flicker here. Running out to Pioneer 7500 and 7800.

Likewise here to a Pioneer AVH4000 - more with some apps than others. Not seen it at all on a regular TV in the house, though, so I wonder if it is a vehicle ground issue or something.

what i did ... detailed info on the more info button on the youtube vid..

there is a pin that sits on top of the headphone jack... bend it up toll it does not make contact... that's it no breaking pins on the adapter or cutting wires... if you pony up later and get the real video out cable u can revert the adapter back by pushing the pin back down...

the case to the adapter snaps appart very easily.

TP2 and tp1's ext usb is the same wiring so it will work the same esp if using the htc headphone dongle that came with the tp1

Did you push or pull in any particular spot? I tried for about 5 minutes today with mine, and it wouldn't budge in the slightest. Any tips, because I don't particularly want to break it in half trying to get it open.

I get a small amount of blue flicker running my SlingBox on my Eclipse 7" DVD/NAV screen in my truck. It doesn't seem to do it all the time & it's certainly no deal killer but it can be annoying at times.

I use the Expansys cable with no mods & the picture is perfect on the phone when the flicker occurs.

The only other time it flickers is using coreplayer & QTV video, but I never use CP anymore as Album/WMP gives better playback (true hardware accelleration) of my h.264 DVD rips.

With Stock Rom it did have that issue. I didn't notice it w/ Custom roms though. Strange.

(I use it alot with Eclipse Nav system in my FJ, even the GPS software sometimes - does have better look to it lol)

FYI - with TP1(had no blue flicker issue btw), Slingmobile played FULL SCREEN on the nav/output screen, but with TP2, it has black borders on both slides (left / right) which is bit of a blow to sling users.
